143. When Jesus Comes

1 Down life's dark vale we wander,
Till Jesus comes;
We watch and wait and wonder,
Till Jesus comes.

Refrain:
All joy his loved ones bringing,
When Jesus comes:
All praise thro' heaven ringing,
When Jesus comes,
All beauty bright and vernal,
When Jesus comes;
All glory, grand, eternal,
When Jesus comes.

2 Oh, let my lamp be burning
When Jesus comes;
For him my soul be yearning,
When Jesus comes. [Refrain]

3 No more heart-pangs nor sadness,
When Jesus comes;
All peace and joy and gladness,
When Jesus comes. [Refrain]

4 All doubts and fears will vanish,
When Jesus comes;
All gloom his face will banish,
When Jesus comes. [Refrain]

5 He'll know the way was dreary,
When Jesus comes;
He'll know the feet grew weary,
When Jesus comes. [Refrain]

6 He'll know what griefs oppressed me,
When Jesus comes;
Oh, how his arms will rest me!
When Jesus comes. [Refrain]
